Wiz03|Quick waiter

I don't mind if you take this slow, as I won't be able to get it till the weekend, which means you'll probably have to skip me after Hakon finishes.
 
Well, with this speed, we could be back to you again by the weekend ;)

Anyway, got it, will play very soon.
 
War begins!

Inherited turn (1910 BC): move workers to shield square 2 NE of Beijing to mine.

IBT: Beijing settler -> settler.

1 (1870 BC): Settler sent to the south to explore.

2 (1830 BC): Warrior attack barb and win. Discover barb camp.

IBT: Canton warr -> settler.

3 (1790 BC): new warrior goes to help settler.

IBT: Shanghai archer -> spearman.

4 (1750 BC): sleep

IBT: Lincoln demands gold. Refused. War. Warrior killed by barb.

5 (1725 BC): move archer from Shanghai near New York.

IBT: Silly move. Wins one battle, killed by 2nd warriors.

6 (1700 BC): Why are sliders on 9.1.0? Changed to 1.9.0 at once. Warrior defends settler near New York

IBT: Warrior wins battle with American warrior.

7, 8, 9 (1625 BC): things were a bit messy here sorry. Spearman built in Shanghai, anyway, and archer on the list. New York is besieged by an archer and a warrior. Spearman moved near New York in an attempt to defend units.

10 (1600 BC): Assault on New York begins.

Summary: I think the war with America is going ok. They have lost 2 units killing our units, they may have some more but I think they are garrisoned. Shanghai was left unguarded as Beijing will produce a SpM in one turn anyway. There are barbarians to the north. Sorry for not founding a city, but it was nearly impossible due to the Americans closing us down. We need to wipe them out quickly.

So - who's next, grab this and whip Abe :)
 
Is Yndy in this game??
 
Not that I'm aware of. I think Wiz might have mixed Yndy with our humble monk, but I'm not sure.
 
Anyhow I think I'm supposed to be next, as it's only Tuesday and I can't play, go ahead and skip me please.
 
Whoops, now it happened: Because of so many same faces as in Håkon's SG, I got mixed up in names...:blush:
 
OK. So who is up, then? Bede?
 
Yes, IIRC. :)

And then me, unless Smellin has a comp there where he can play...
 
Will play today.

Moving right along.

Defense: 1W, 2A, 1 Sp

Commerce: 264g, 10gpt Science 1 Lux 0. Incense avaiilable in ~35 turns at Nanking, sooner if worker builds colony. extra spice at Canton available for trade, needs road

Sorry about backing down from Abe, but I couldn't put enough force down on the ground quickly enough. Archers against fortified spears in towns is tough and didn't have any iron for swords. Looks like Abe pop rushed his towns to get military so now his cities are down in pop and hurting for at lesat 20 turns, one good thing from this debacle.

Treasury is in good shape; we're at the top of the histo tree and have tech parity, at least, with everyone. Lots of fog still on map, but near as I can tell we have a decent mix of land, big hole is iron and Joan is the only one showing it as available, but she has no extra.

Future directions: Settle in a half moon shape around Abe's northern borders. Will be unproductive jungle at least for medium term but will hem him in a little, what with sweet Joan to his west and south.


Bede
Edit Try this one
 
Hmm... Wise idea to back out from the war. :) We couldn't have standed Abe's attack for long, I suppose.

Let's see... Who is up? Am I? IIRC, I should be the next to play...

I knew I should have put up a player order list, I'll update the first post with the correct play order.
 
Ok, here's the correct play order:

Håkon
Dominix (Only weekends)
Bede- just played
Wizard (me)- playing now

Smellincoffee will be put into the cycle when / if he can play.
 
Wiz,

Sorry for bad link. I edited the original post and tested it and it works. If you need it file name is Wiz03-1350BC2.sav
 
Update: my parents bought a new monitor. Was that the problem? We'll see tomorrow, 'cause I plan on catching up on some REAL civving- with Conquests and my various improvements.
 
Ok got it, will play right now when parents aren't home :D.
 
1350BC (0): Do some major changes, the land up north really isn't all that good for settling, we can continue the war but with horses first. So change research to HBR, due in 5 at -6gpt. Also change Beijing to spearman and Shanghai to Chariot.

1325BC (1): Beijing spearman > chariot. Spearman heads towards Shanghai. Canton worker > worker.

1300BC (2): nothing

1275BC (3): nothing

1250BC (4): Beijing chariot > chariot, Shanghai chariot > chariot. HBR in 1 turn at -5gpt so those two will be changed to horse shortly.

1225BC (5): We get HBR, research Lit, 10 turns at -5gpt. Change Shanghai to spearman as horses are taking a bit long to make. Upgrade two chariots to horse

1200BC (6): move lux slider to 10% to avoid BJ from rioting.

1175BC (7): nothing

1150BC (8): Beijing horse > horse, I've got Beijing MM'ed right now to at 10spt, keep it this way so we can build horses in 3. Americans have Code of Laws, French and India have Map Making. Hold off trading tech right now till we can get a better deal (and when our peace treaty end with Abe, we might be able to extort some if the war is successful). TM and 3g to Gandhi for his TM. WM to Joan for TM and 6g. Aye she has iron! Canton changed to settler, worker sent to mine forest near Canton to speed up production.

1125BC (9): Shanghai spear > horse. Worker added to Shanghai, horse now in 5. Shifting of some units around, warrior in Canton now in Beijing, Spear in Beijing now in Canton. Beijing has a spear and a warrior in it (for MP duty).

1100BC (10): Nothing, Lit due in 4 at -6gpt.

Ok, we got a monolopy on HBR, and we should keep this monolopy if we're gonna be any threat. France and India have Map Making and Abe has CDL. With just 2 horses and 2 archers (plus our own spearmen), our military is already considered strong against the Americans. Build up some more horses with Beijing and Shanghai, 8 should be good enough to do a clean sweep of at least Washington and NY, which we ought to keep IMHO if we capture them. India has some extra furs, but I doubt they'll ever connect up with us anytime soon. Make sure to leave France alone, I think they have the only iron source on our continent. With luck, Abe will have Map Making by the time he comes begging for peace, and we can get the tech lead with just extortion.

Here is the save
 
Dominix, you took the save from right under my nose! Well, looks good anyway. :) I'll play today later...
